Tracey and Scott on Monster Kid Radio – HHW Super 8 Film Festival Review

Posted on September 17, 2013 by Scott

The host of the Disney, Indiana podcast once again venture outside the house of mouse to appear on the Monster Kid Radio podcast. They attended HorrorHound Weekend Con the weekend of September 7-8, 2013. While at this con, they took in the Ray Harryhausen Super-8 Tribute Show (along with a bonus Super-8 show) hosted by We are Movie Geek’s Tom Stockman.

Although the 8MM film format was originally intended for home movie use, major film studios released condensed versions of their films in this format all up until the mid 1980s. Most titles were shorten to either 8 or 17 minutes, depending on the film length used. Collector Tom Stockman showcased the work of legendary animator Ray Harryhausen in this format and Tracey and Scott were fortunate enough to attend.

What did they think of this show – and the bonus show the following night that covered such diverse films at It Conquered the World (1956), Jaws (1975), Reptilicus (1961) and many others. Check out Monster Kid Radio episode 33 to find out.

Disney, Indiana – Episode 136 – Make Mine Music: The Lighter Side of the 1990’s

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Scott

In today’s episode, one of the more popular segments of the Disney, Indiana podcast returns as Tracey and Scott play Make Mine Music by counting down their favorite Disney songs from the 1990s.

Our hosts found this to be a daunting task at first as there is so much good music associated with Disney from this time frame, so they limited the scope a little. They decided to only look at lighter songs this time around – they’ll do another 1990s countdown with the more serious and love songs at a future date.

Along with the Make Mine Music segment, they also share a bit of audio they recorded at Walt Disney World – from an attraction that opened in the 1990s.

All this, plus a call to the Main Street Cinema and some listener feedback.

Welcome to Disney, Indiana!

Disney, Indiana – Episode 135 – Crushin’ the Toy Box

Posted on September 1, 2013 by Scott

In today’s episode, Scott has some heartburn about losing a Disney acronym that is near and dear to his heart while Tracey tries to bribe him out of his funk.

After the acronym agitation, our hosts fire up the hydrophone and bring you one of the stars of Disney/Pixar’s Finding Nemo, Crush. It’s Turtle Talk recorded at Walt Disney World in November of 2009.

Once our co-hosts come up for air, it’s time for recess as our hosts take at look at the latest videogame offering from Disney Interactive Studios – Disney Infinity. They limit their review to the game’s starter pack and judge if you can have fun with the game without breaking the bank by buying extra figures, power discs and playsets.

They wrap things up with some listener feedback and a call to the Main Street Cinema.

Welcome to Disney, Indiana!
